yeah, I'm going to need pics, as I'm too tired to think right now...but as far as posting pics:

Up top, click on 'gallery'
then sign in
then click "my gallery"
then upload pic
browse your computer and upload it
then click on the picture when it shows up in your gallery
when the page loads, there will be a tag under the picture.

example: <img>http:blahblahblah</img>

copy paste that tag into your post and the picture will show up when you post.

Is your car an RS? If so they did not come with ABS.

also, what is that white hole on the side??? I dunno what it is but i have seen some other peoples engine bay pics and i have seen the intake piping go into there. Is that hole some special thing for intakes???

i didn't mean far down as in low, I meant it as in far down away fromn the firewall. usually anything brake related on cars is up near the firewall.

Ok the white hole is where the air is sucked into the air intake, the air starts there.

so would i be able to make my intake piping go straight into the white hole, i guess putting a filter on the end, will that get as much cold air as a cai? or should i just stick to a cai

You don't want to connect anything to that hole. The air goes into that hole then through the intake resonator, then the filter box then the motor. Most people who don't want an aftermarket intake system just take the resonator off. You will see it if you take the passenger side wheel off and pull back the inner fender lining.
